Natural Methods to Stay Healthy Don’t Damage Your Ears Like Drugs Can—and Do

Hundreds of prescription drugs can damage your ears resulting in such things as hearing loss, ringing in the ears and various kinds of balance problems. The result is they leave in their wake people whose lives have just been flipped upside down. This does not have to happen as there are a number of safer alternatives.

At the May meeting of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA)—Adams/York chapter, Neil Bauman, Ph.D., the author of the book “Ototoxic Drugs Exposed” will explain some of the natural things you can do to stay healthy, or regain your health, rather than using drugs known to damage your ears. If you value your ears, you will not want to miss his presentation.

Also, he will discuss some exciting new developments regarding the open captioning of live theatre in our area, and how to find captioned movies showing in theatres near you.

The meeting will be held on Thursday May 27, 2010 at 2:00 PM in the Nicarry Meetinghouse at Cross Keys Village—The Brethren Home Community, 2990 Carlisle Pike in New Oxford. Come and bring a hard of hearing family member or friend (and any questions) with you. You are all welcome. There is no charge!

Directions to Meeting Location

Meetings are held in the Nicarry Meetinghouse of the Brethren Home Community located at the south-west corner of the intersection of Routes 30 and 94 (approximately 5 miles north of Hanover, PA; 12 miles east of Gettysburg; or 25 miles west of York).

To get to the Nicarry Meeting house, from Route 30, turn south into the back entrance of the Brethren Home Community (approximately 1 block west of the traffic light at Routes 30 and 94—the name is on the gatepost at the entrance.)

The Nicarry Meeting house is the second building on your left. (It has a steep green roof). The parking lot is in front of it (on your left).

Go in the main entrance, turn left and go down the hall to where it widens (you'll see chairs and sofas there). The meeting room is immediately to your left through either sets of doors. There are signs on both sets of doors.
 

Meetings are Accessible

Meetings are accessible to hard of hearing people and people in wheelchairs.

If you are hard of hearing, you can:

  • Hear crystal-clear sound through the room loop (if you have t-coils on your hearing aids).
     
  • Hear though the public address system.
     
  • Sit near the speaker and speechread.
     
  • We have real-time captioning on a screen at the front (when our captionist can make it—sometimes she has to work at that time).
